Desert Journey

After retrieving the totem Moon Moth Phoenix, Tang Miao stayed in Moon Snow Town for a few more days.

Mu Ningxue has worked so hard, he naturally needs to comfort her properly.

Despite sacrificing her kidneys, Mu Ningxue received the best possible nourishment.

Afterwards, he received a call from Ling Ling, who had prepared for their trip to the Taklamakan Desert, so Tang Miao returned to Magic Capital...

Back in Magic Capital, Tang Miao didn't even have time to go back to the apartment to see Mu Nujiao, who had returned, before heading straight to the airport with Ling Ling...

Taking a plane from Shanghai basically means flying from the easternmost part of the country to the westernmost part, traversing the entire nation.

However... only by flying like this once can you truly appreciate how vast China's territory is. If this were in Europe, the distance would involve passing through more than a dozen countries!

However, because the route passed through Demon Beast areas, the plane was traveling at an extremely high speed... In less than three hours, the plane landed at Tarim Airport, the closest airport to the Taklamakan Desert...

The Taklamakan Desert is located in the central part of the Tarim Basin. Although it is small compared to the Sahara Desert in Africa, for humankind, this area buried by yellow sand is a completely strange, unknown, and dangerous new world. The only things that can truly survive in the desert are the Demon Beast that live there.

Most importantly, this place boasts a top-tier Demon Beast tribe with nearly a million Demon Beast! There are also dozens of medium-sized tribes and countless small tribes... It's fair to say this place is a Demon Beast empire!

Upon arriving here, Ling Ling decided on the route, while Tang Miao retrieved a camel from the Summoning Plane. Although it was only Servant Level camel, it was perfectly suited for traversing the desert.

Having reached the desert region, thanks to the camel Summoning Plane another dimension, they encountered no obstacles and easily moved forward.

The journey was smooth sailing for the two. Even when they encountered Demon Beast, Tang Miao was able to quickly lead Ling Ling away from the battle...

This could be considered an advantage for the two of them, but of course, there were also disadvantages. If they encountered Tang Miao's depleted magical energy, their fate would be only one... death.

With Wind Element and Space Element combined, Tang Miao didn't linger in battle when encountering Demon Beast. Holding Ling Ling's soft little body, he instantly covered hundreds of meters and then flew a thousand meters away in the blink of an eye.

Ordinary Demon Beast were simply ignored...

He could certainly choose to fight his way out, but there are just too many Demon Beast here... even if he worked himself to death, he would never have the chance to kill them all.

Moreover, within a large tribe, who knows what level of beings exist? It's fine as long as you don't provoke them, but once you do, even if he can't use his Demon Element, he doesn't think he can leave safely here.

"Ling Ling, do you want to take a rest?"

He had been traveling for almost half a day, and although he was fine, the Xiao Ke in his arms was just an ordinary little girl.

Even being carried by him, sleeping outdoors in the wind and rain was still uncomfortable. He stopped immediately and asked a question.

"No need, I didn't put in any effort. Besides, you used Space Element to isolate the sandstorm, do you think I didn't know?" Ling Ling didn't feel any sense of adventure. Although she knew Tang Miao was doing this for her own good, it was still a bit boring.

"Nonsense, how could your little body withstand the sand and dust here?" Tang Miao said with concern, touching the Ruan Ruan body.

"You pervert! Don't touch me!" Ling Ling said, both embarrassed and indignant.

A couple of gentle pats along the way were fine, but now that we've stopped, she's become even more aggressive! It's outrageous! Does she think this little girl is stupid if she doesn't show her temper?

"No, I was just putting a lift on you so you wouldn't fall," Tang Miao replied seriously.

"Go to hell..." Ling Ling naturally didn't believe what Tang Miao said.

That old rascal is really wicked; every time he tries to take advantage of me, he always has a whole bunch of seemingly reasonable excuses...

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~!!"

Just as the two were bickering, the wind suddenly became inexplicably stronger. Although Ling Ling didn't feel the wind, she wasn't blind either.

Immediately, the two looked in the direction the wind was blowing and suddenly discovered that the once pure blue sky, like a gemstone, had been covered by a large, murky yellow cloud. At first glance, it looked like a still curtain of clouds, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that they were slowly covering the sky.

"Is this a sandstorm?" Tang Miao asked, puzzled.

"No... no, this is... this is Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper!" Ling Ling said, her face pale.

In this situation, the brain is generally not very useful, after all, there are just far too many of these things...

Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper are probably the most terrifying thing people know about the Taklamakan Desert. They are as overwhelming as sandstorms, but the destructive power of sandstorms is much weaker than theirs. The places where the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper have passed through, as depicted in the photos, are truly horrifying and terrifying. Not a blade of grass grows, and the ground is littered with bones, stretching for thousands of miles!

Tang Miao was also somewhat troubled, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to force his way through! If he tried to escape, wouldn't all his journey have been for nothing?

He had no interest in staying in this godforsaken place any longer!

After Little Flame Ji merged with the Snow Maiden, she summoned Snow Woman to assist her. Snow Woman grabbed Tang Miao, Tang Miao was holding Ling Ling. Flame Power surrounded them, and frost covered their bodies. Then, Snow Woman rushed into the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper storm at top speed.

"Whoosh!"

The speed was extremely fast, and with the power of the two Element Pet, the yellow sand below was scorching hot, while the air above was bitterly cold!

The dust storm formed by the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper, although extremely strong, was nothing compared to the overwhelming Ice Fire Element.

"Whoosh~!!"

With a burst of energy, Tang Miao charged straight out of the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper swarm. After they passed, the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper didn't turn back to pursue them. Because the feeling they had just experienced was truly terrifying... both the Flame's Burning Power and the Freezing Power of the frost had inflicted heavy losses on the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper!

Although it was only a brief charge, both Flame Ji and Snow Woman were severely exhausted. After all, they had just rushed through a swarm of Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper, and one can only imagine how enormous the number of Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper must be to be able to condense a sandstorm!

Tang Miao took out the formula for her two daughters, distributed it, and then told them to go back and rest.

After summoning back Flame Ji and Snow Woman, Tang Miao looked at Ling Ling in his arms. Ling Ling was also looking at him. Seeing him look over, Ling Ling blinked her eyes and said, "I didn't expect that the fearsome Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper was nothing special after all."

"That's all?"

Tang Miao felt a headache coming on, then said, "Little girl, do you know that Flame Ji and Snow Woman both used up a huge amount of magical energy just now, forcibly casting their respective domains within the Wind Domain they created, and it was only because I intervened that they were able to break through successfully?"

If it weren't for his superior control, and if they weren't so connected, they might not only have failed to break through, but the ice and fire might have even canceled each other out...

If the damage is negated, what good is it even if it's Element Pet? What good is it even if it's Destruction Mage? In the end, they still can't escape being torn apart piece by piece by the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper...

"You won't let anyone experience it, how am I supposed to know?" Ling Ling pouted and said again.

Tang Miao paused, then realized what this clever little devil was up to! He just wanted to walk on his own and experience the terror of the desert, didn't he?

Although she wouldn't have much of a problem walking on her own, how could Tang Miao bear to let such an adorable little girl go?

"You only need to use your brain, what's there to experience! How far is the Flame Holy Land from us?" Tang Miao dashed Ling Ling's dream of leaving his warm embrace, and then asked.
